Answering DA’s Aff
1. Smartness Is Important – Most, if not all, DA’s are lies – there are overwhelming wholes in Them
- The Politics DA – Why does decreasing some political capital kill all capital
- Why would their be voting switching
- Why Would It Effect this agenda item and not the others in a similar area
- Why isn’t he spending his capital in other areas?
The Deterrence/Red Spread/China Agression DA
- Why does Reducing Troops in one area perceived as weakness Globally
- Haven’t we changed deployment patterns Generally? Asia Troops to the Middle East, Not giving every allie exactly the military technology they want
- Why didn’t withdrawal from Vietnam cause every impact – isn’t domino theory disproven
- Why are all nations automatically Offensive and not defense
- Qualifications question
2. Diversity of Arguments in the 2AC, less 1AR, Less 2AR
- Just Turning runs into problems – Unique cards and Link turn cards means the block just unloads on you, ditto for impact turns against teams that are ready
- There are always sooooo many problems with a DA you need to make a number of Args
A. Issue Spec Uniqueness B. Link Uniqueness C. General Links claims D. Internal Link Turns E. The Impact Questions
- 2AC can make these arguments quick – don’t need cards for everything
- 1AR picks a little more, can’t extend all, but some
- Us Their arg’s agains them on Issues you aren’t extending ‘They read generic link cards very good, non-Unique” – They Read lots of issue spec cards but have other internal link claims
-2AR Needs to Pick more
3. Different Affs Mean Different Approaches
Small Aff’s – The link is always general, the Link Uniqueness Is Usually Fucked, and their isn’t a good card about the aff
Big Aff’s – Their impact is always inevitable unless you do the Aff – Japan Relations A. Key to the East Asian Economy/Global Economy B. Key to Hegemony C. Key to US Softpower in the region – Democracy, Trade, Etc. D. Key to US Diplomatic Efforts E. Key to Stop Sino-Japan Confrontation – solves Warming
Iraq – Iraq Civil War Tanks Oil – Economy Iraq-Iran Relations Stops Prolif, Terrorism, Iran-US War Solves Overstreach – Econ Solves Heg – Every fucking impact Solves Democracy Don’t Go to war
Thus, the 2ar is trying to “Resolve” not always “Solve” – Their impacts are always going to happen, no matter what, and only the aff solves them – core shit
Find a card for every major impact
You still debate DA, but you have a framing Device in Every 2AR
K Aff- You Need to both A. Say the DA is dumb and take out the arguments for Any Number of reasons – AND B Read a Critique of them DA – Important shit C. Determine Impact Framing –
4. Point out areas where they are missing a cards and Demand they read one
Politics Obviously Econ Impact 1. No Ev on why Controvercy drains political capital 2. No Ev on Why it would destroy all political capital – whats the treshold for how much to loose 3. No Even on Why Us Economy Key to Global Economy 4. Just came out of a recession – Proves Empiracly Denied 5. Many cards say Obama’s needs to push, not that he needs the clout
5. Case Outweighs
1. Yes Probable and Timeframe and Magnitude A. Why does your impact interact with their impact? – Maybe solves It B. Thus, always Answers turns the case
